The anterior tip, lower edge, and anterior teeth of the specimen have been broken away exposing the aveoli and the roots of the anterior teeth. The maxilla is triangular in lateral outline, with a height of 228 mm measured at the anterior edge of the first antorbital fenestra. The estimated length of the bone from its anterior edge to the posterior blade of the last tooth is 390 mm. The greatest diameter of the second antorbital fenestra is 96 mm and the least diameter is 69 mm. This fenestra lies at the anterior margin of a lateral depression which also contains the first antorbital fenestra and is separated from the latter by a slender bar 24 mm across at its narrowest point. The anteriormost antorbital fossa lies at the anterior edge of the second antorbital fenestra and is not visible in lateral aspect. The transversely rounded anterodorsal edge of the bone indicates that the maxilla took part in forming the external nares. The palatal flange of the maxilla is a triangular prism that runs the length of the maxilla, decreasing in height posteriorly. The dorsal surface of the flange is nearly horizontal, sloping downward toward the inner surface of the maxilla. The last three teeth decrease gradually in length posteriorly and are sharply recurved. The interdental plates are not present (the burial of this specimen in a conglomeratic sandstone, suggests that the plates were lost during stream transport).
